Look, I’m as critical if the ROP crap as anyone, but this is not a hard news story at all and I would be very careful about making any conclusion based on it.

You're right, of course.

However, in this case, common sense leans heavily toward these stories being true.

Occam's razor and all that.

Other, more complicated solutions may ultimately prove to provide better predictions, but—in the absence of differences in predictive ability—the fewer assumptions that are made, the better."
